1.
When installing a structural post in a fascia
(thru)-mount application, be sure that
sufficient mounting structure exists to receive
post attachment fasteners.
When mounting to a straight face, three
fasteners should be used (Fig. 1). In an inside
corner application, five fasteners should be
used to maximize strength in both directions
(Fig 2).
NOTE: Thru-bolting using / " stainless steel

bolts is recommended to attain maximum
strength and durability.
2.
Ensuring that the post is plumb from side-to-
side and at the appropriate height, clamp in
place (Fig. 3).
Posts should be installed at a height of 36"
for an RDI residential railing kit and 42" for an
RDI commercial railing kit.
Using two standard deck screws, temporarily
secure the post in place through the two
smaller holes in the post (Fig. 4).

After mounting location is confirmed, pre-drill
for permanent mounting hardware (Fig. 5).
Using the provided vinyl shims, plumb the
post and permanently secure with at least
three mounting fasteners (Fig. 6, 7).
